... because it's the day (night for me) that World of Warcraft servers go down for many hours of maintenance. For me, it's usually from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., which means I can't play for a good 3-4 hours of playing time. Today, it was due to come down at 8 p.m. my time, and I got held up at work and didn't get home till 6 p.m.
So I log in and start playing a bit. The power goes out.
I wait a bit .. 10 minutes or so later, power is back on.
I log in an start playing again. Ten minutes later, power is back out.
I go wash some dishes, organize some receipts, grumbling the whole while ... then the power comes back on. And almost immediately goes out.
So I leave to get some dinner, play poker for a couple hours, head home ... power is still out. So I go to Kmart, shop a bit, come back home after 10 p.m. ... finally it's back on.
But the game is down, and will be for another 5 hours or so.
I hate the power utility ... and I hate getting cheated out of quality WOW time.
Bleah.
Oh, I haven't made the change yet in the sidebar, but if you were on my Yahoo! Messenger list, or want to be, my Yahoo! I.D. has changed ... to
